Lucien frequented local agricultural fairs and enjoyed watching horse pulling. You would often find him at his son-in-laws business hanging out with and watching the mechanics work. On the days where he wasn't there, he was tagging along with his son and grandson to construction job sites they were working on. In addition, he was always ready to sit shotgun in his good friend, Richard Cloutier's dump truck. It was a sure thing to find Anita and Lucien at Eric's Restaurant in Waterville every morning, most of the time around 5:30 a.m. to help him open. His greatest joy was spending time with his family.
